5 Yoga Poses That Help in Boosting Creativity

It happens to many creative people on a daily basis - they outline plenty of time in their schedule, they tidy up their surroundings in such a manner that there is nothing except creation around them and they are well rested to start working on their next big creative project.
But when we sit down to start working on that big thing, we soon find out that our mind is also as blank as that white screen at which we're working.
Since I work as a write for making a living, I face this situation too often.
And needless to say that writing is also a work of creativity.
And it's not just limited to writing - it happens with my other friends too.
For example, some of the ladies whom I know end up eating the same the same meal when they feel uninspired in their kitchen.
Some of my friends who work as designers end up making something pretty similar to a recent project for a new assignment due to the creativity block.
Sometimes a cup of coffee or a long walk can help you in getting your creativity working back.
Sometimes it can be achieved by listening to your favorite music.
But sometimes when you get struck really hard that nothing seems to be working, a yoga session with some special poses that boost our creativity can turn out to be amazingly helpful.
So below I'm going to talk about the 5 different yoga poses which help in overcoming the creativity block:
  1. Pigeon Pose: This may seem awkward to those who don't belong to the yoga community, but to those who belong to a yoga community this is a well known fact that we store emotions in our hips.
    So a few hip-opener poses like Pigeon Pose can help a lot in bringing back the lost creativity.
    It also has a lot of benefits - for example, it can help in releasing negative emotions.
    Taking Pigeon Pose on both hips for a few minutes and bending forward for pressing forehead in the ground for a few minutes is the best medicine that I've experienced for overcoming the creativity block.
  2. Headstand: Headstand offers a fresh perspective which works well for getting back the lost creativity.
    Plus, this pose also brings a bit more oxygen to the brain, which is obviously not a bad deal.
  3. Child's Pose: Creativity can't be forced or injected into someone - it's something authentic, not contrived.
    Sometimes we just need a break from our regular work for allowing our wisdom to bubble up naturally.
    While you do that, Child's Pose can help you a lot in achieving that opportunity in a quicker manner.
  4. Seated Meditation: A few minutes spent in the seated meditation can help a lot in placing yourself in the right frame of mind that'll be helpful in bringing back that lost creativity.
  5. Eagle Pose (Garudasana): This is just another hip-opener that helps a lot in the time of Creativity Crisis, but it comes with an added benefit - it's a shoulder stretch too.
    For those who hold a lot of tension in their shoulder and neck, it's an awesome way to bring back that creativity and get rid of tension at the same time.
